All of our achievements wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of everyone in our district. We’ve shared some incredible memories, and we can’t wait to see what adventures and opportunities 2026 has in store for us!
Our schools look forward to welcoming students and teachers back on Jan. 5. Enjoy a healthy and happy winter break!
Thanks to generous donations from our bus drivers and transportation vendor, our students can start a new school day on the right foot.
Organized by our dedicated school staff, the night featured flag displays representing the various countries of origin for our students and staff, along with a delicious spread of traditional dishes that allowed everyone to experience flavors from around the globe. The evening also included a book fair to encourage our students' love for reading and support literacy. Additionally, students participated in various raffles, with amazing prizes generously donated by our community.
We extend a heartfelt thank you to all those who contributed to our raffles and to the many volunteers who dedicated their time and effort to make this event a success. Your support is invaluable, and our Richer School community is truly grateful for your contributions that help us come together and celebrate our diversity!

Richer had 28 girls participate in this empowering program, which was made possible by the support of volunteer coaches Brittney Guillotte, Aly Sweitzer, Haylie Taylor and Stefanie Wadman, as well as running buddies Allison Gonska, Paige Miller, Michelle Taylor and Principal Lisa Richards. Some Richer GOTR alums even made an appearance to cheer on our students.

With encouragement from Ms. Zouharis, student Valeria entered the 2025-26 Annual Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest and won the top prize of $100 in the local competition. This contest prompted students ages 11-13 to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity. The theme for this year was “Together As One.” The contest was judged based on three criteria: originality, artistic merit and the expression of the theme.
Valeria, along with her father and Ms. Zouharis, enjoyed a dinner provided by the Marlborough Lions Club, held at the Marlborough Public Library, where she was awarded the prize money and a certificate. Ms. Zouharis was also honored with a certificate for her exemplary teaching.
Congratulations to Valeria and Ms. Zouharis!

On Tuesday, Richer School students had the honor of participating in the Marlborough District Court's Cultural Appreciation Day.
Every year, courts across the state celebrate Cultural Appreciation Week. For the past few years, the Marlborough Court has recognized this occasion by collecting and showcasing student artwork that embodies their perspectives on cultural diversity and inclusion. This year, the Marlborough Court was designated as a signature court. Marlborough Probation Officer and cultural champion Ashley Losapio invited Richer students to not only display their artwork but also perform at the celebration, which focused on the theme "Access and Justice: We All Stand Together."
We extend our gratitude to Judge Meghan Spring and Senator Eldridge for answering questions from our curious students, and we appreciate the entire court staff for their warm hospitality!
